I'm new to using gcc and am trying to compile the search.c sample file andI get messages like this:

search.c:(.text+0xc0): undefined reference to `ldap_set_option'

I'm really not familiar with the tools, though I have been using the Javalibraries on Windows for several years. I'm switching to SUSE for severalprojects and would like to start using C/C++ to do more of my work. Thecommand I used and all of it's output are below. The machine is just astandard SUSE 10 install with the development tools added. Any help wouldbe greatly appreciated.

and I got a file called a.out that I was able to run and connect to myserver; however, I don't understand why that works. In addition, how cna Ibe sure that the compiler is using the Novell headers and libraries and notthe files that were included in the OS for OpenLDAP?
